Resident urges Warrenton to confirm compliance with state and federal rules for recovery homes
Summary
A resident asked the Board of Aldermen to confirm that city actions regarding recovery homes comply with state and federal rules; the board said staff will review the materials and consider a workshop, and the city attorney had received the resident's handout.
During the public-comment period at the May 6 meeting, resident Jane Kelly asked the Board of Aldermen for a clear decision that the city would abide by state and federal rules and regulations related to recovery homes.
Kelly said she had presented a six-page handout at the April 15 meeting and had not yet heard back about the board's decision. "What we want is a clear decision that you are gonna abide by the state and federal rules and regulations," Kelly said.
A board representative responding during the meeting said, "I don't know that we've made a formal decision. I think it's something we do need to set up more of a workshop and discuss the ins and outs of everything on it." The board representative added that staff had forwarded a copy of Kelly's handout to the city attorney. Another city official said, "We'll take a look at it and see what if we have any questions. Then I'll go back and review it. If we hear anything, we'll be back."
Kelly said she expected a response and that she would return to public comment if the board had further questions in two weeks. The transcript records no formal board action on the topic during the meeting.
The board did not reference any particular state or federal statute by name during the public comment exchange; Kelly asked that the city attorney consult state and federal authorities as needed.
